My answers to the 11 questions:

What’s the best book you’ve read so far this year and why?

There are a couple but I’m going to with The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I chose this book because it had everything I look for in a book. Interesting characters, gripping plot twists I wasn’t expecting, a great balance of action and suspence.

Would you rather meet your favorite book character, or your favorite author?

I would rather meet my favourite author so I could find out lots more about my favourite book character.

What movie/show do you think is better than the book?

That’s a tricky question to answer, normally the books are nearly always better, but for this I am going to say the movie version of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings. Even though I enjoyed reading the books I actually really enjoyed watching the characters come to life.

What do you like to do, other than read (and talk about books, and hoard books, and sniff books…)?

I love doing Amigurumi (crocheting toys), which I taught myself by watching YouTube videos. Although I haven’t made anything in over a year as everytime I get my wool and crochet needles out my 4 year old nephew comes and takes everything because I wants to do it instead.

Do you prefer sweet or salty?

This all depends what I have to choose from. If it’s popcorn then I like it mixed, this is because I find popcorn either too salty or too sweet if eaten separately.

How do you describe why you like reading to non-readers?

Again it depends who the non-reader is. If it’s someone I know i.e Family or friends I usually tell them I like reading because it means I don’t have to talk to you or pay attention to you. Only joking, I tell them I like reading because it helps me to relax and I can get lost in a different world and  I can let my imagination go wild when bring the characters to life in my head.

Do you have a yet-to-be-realized dream?

I have a dream of travelling around the world, and having my very own libraby in my house do those count.

What’s a book genre that you never read?

Erotica I’ve tried and I didn’t like it. I don’t see the point of reading this genre. I don’t think anything will change my mind.

What’s something about you that might surprise people?

When I meet new people they are surprised to learn how old I really am. I very often mistaken to be in my mid twenties, and still get asked for ID.

Who is the least likeable character you’ve ever read?

Hmmm, this is a hard one but I’m going back to choose a character from one of my favourite books from when I was a kid and go with Miss Trunchbull from Matilda by Roald Dahl. I really hated her and she still reminds me a little bit of my English teacher that I had during my GCSE’s.

What’s your favourite genre and why?

I have a few favourite genres but if I had to choose one I would say horror. I’ve always had a thing for horror I love how it makes my heart race.
